Tidy Threat   

Options
There's no GUI configuration screen (Someday I'll learn how to do that), but you can access all the features using the command line:

/ttt or /tidythreat [hide, show, autohide, lock, unlock, detail, nodetail, sound, nosound, reset]

/ttt autohide will hide Tidy Threat while not in combat.

/ttt show will show Tidy Threat, and disable auto-hide.

/ttt detail will enable the popup detail window.

/ttt sound will enable the High Threat warning sound.

/ttt lock will lock the position of Tidy Threat.

/ttt reset will restore TidyThreat to factory settings.


Technical Details

The vertical bar is actually two different statusbars, stacked on top of each other:

• The lower bar displays the player's threat, measured in percentage, with 100% indicating aggro.
  
• The upper bar/extension activates only when the player exceeds 100% threat, and shows the difference between the maximum threat and the player's own threat; ie. your Threat Lead.

Code:

 
ThreatLead = PlayerThreat - MaximumGroupThreat

As MaximumGroupThreat approaches 100% (Drawing aggro), ThreatLead becomes very small, and the upper bar gets very thin. Since threat is most important when there's danger of aggro migration, the upper bar's maximum range is set to display up to 68% of the ThreatLead.

If enabled, a warning sound will play at 80% threat. If you want to change it, you'll have to poke in the code. (Let me know if this value seems low or high.)

Of note, Tidy Threat makes use of Wow's internal Threat engine, restricting it to the update schedule of the server. Sometimes the meter will seem choppy or slow; It's an issue with ALL current threat meters. :-( 

Also, you need to have threat for the server to report threat; If you're a hunter or warlock, and you send your pet after something, you won't be able to see the threat data until YOU attack. Use a low/threat-damage spell to open the fight, if you're worried about aggro.


History
The inspiration for this project came from Blizzard's own, 'Classic Threat Meter'; Apparently, their own built-in threat monitor was removed because it was deemed, "Too Complicated" and "Not minimalistic". This is my own attempt at creating a practical, raid-worthy threat monitor, which is simple enough for a new player to understand.
